Axis EN and MxPro 5 fire panels from global systems leader, Advanced, have been certified by FM Approvals to the EN 54 standard, becoming the first UK-manufactured fire alarm control panels to attain this accreditation.
The FM APPROVED
diamond is one of the most prestigious certification marks in the world. It is issued
by FM Approvals, a member of the FM Global Group, for products that adhere
to the highest property conservation standards in quality, technical integrity
and performance. It is a mark of quality and performance that
is relevant for any engineer, specifier or building owner wishing to install fire
systems that meet the highest property conservation standards.
Advanced’s products lead the market in performance, quality and
ease-of-use and the company has been at the forefront of standards leadership
for decades across many of the 80 countries it operates in. As well as holding FM
Approval for EN54 Parts 2 & 4, the Axis EN and MxPro 5 fire panels were
among the first to obtain EN54 Part 13 from VdS. The FM Approval of Advanced’s fire panels also
included an inspection of Advanced’s manufacturing sites as it moves into its
state-of-the-art HQ in Newcastle in the North East of England. The MxPro 5 and
Axis EN labels and branding are being updated with the FM certification in
early 2019.
John Newton, Head of Products at Advanced, said: “Receiving FM Approval for
our Axis EN and MxPro 5 fire panels is a proud moment for everyone at Advanced and is significant for all
of our customers and partners. It further differentiates Advanced as a business
that has achieved high standards in fire systems quality, technical integrity
and performance globally. That difference is significant, and it means that
companies across the UK, Europe, the Middle East and Africa now have access to
our industry-leading range of MxPro 5 and Axis EN products.”
The MxPro 5 multi-protocol panel and Axis EN systems panel are certified
to EN54 Parts 2, 4 & 13 and come in one-to-eight-loop variants as standard,
with further custom build options available. Both product ranges are easily
configured into high speed, 200-panel networks, covering huge areas with tens
